The most popular model Mini sold in Canada, the sporty all-wheel-drive, four-door Countryman is offered in Cooper S form as well as a high-performance John Cooper Works (JCW) model. Both are powered by 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engines - the base Countryman’s motor puts out 181 horsepower versus 208 for the JCW. A six-speed manual is standard, with an available six-speed manumatic. In addition to the extra power, the JCW adds an aerodynamic body kit, bi-xenon headlights, sport exhaust and suspension systems and 18-inch light-alloy wheels. The Countryman is the first model in the Mini range with four doors and a wide-opening rear lid. With the All4 all-wheel-drive system, the engine’s power is distributed seamlessly between the front and rear axles by an electromagnetic centre differential. The All4 system’s control electronics are integrated directly into the management unit of the Dynamic Stability Control system.
